It may be painted directly onto cast iron, steel and stainless steel.

How to Use
PREPARATION: Clean surface thoroughly. Remove all traces of grease, oil, dirt and rust. Sand previously painted surfaces lightly. Wipe with mineral turps and allow to dry.
APPLICATION: Choose a dry, well ventilated area. Stir thoroughly. Apply in thin coats. Two coats are usually sufficient. Lightly sand between coats. Do not paint below 5°C or in high humidity.
DRY TIME: Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Handle in 4-6 hours. Recoat after 16 hours. Longer drying time needed in cold or damp/humid weather. Allow 24hrs between drying and curing.
CURING: It is important that the heating unit be fully cured to achieve ‘a hard, dry state’, as below:
- Ensure good ventilation by opening all windows and doors.
- Light a small fire inside the unit using paper and kindling wood only and maintain the fire’s intensity for at least 1 hour. Some fumes and smoke may be emitted during this time. Avoid breathing fumes and smoke.
- Gradually build the fire’s intensity over a further 1 hour period in order to complete the post curing of the paint. Very little fumes or smoke should be emitted during this time.
- When this process has been completed, the unit may be used in the normal manner.
CLEAN UP: Clean brushes and equipment with mineral turps after use.
COVERAGE: 13-18m2/L
